[Gdal-dev] gdal_merge invalid literal for int(): -3.40282e+038

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi, I'm trying to use gdal_merge to mosiack some dems, but how do I get 
it to ignore a float32 nodata number?

gdlainfo says "NoData Value=-3.40282e+038" but when I try and use it 
gdal_merge pukes:

gdal_merge -o d:\scratch\merged.tif dem1 dem2 -n -3.40282e+038

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "c:\local\fwtools\bin\gdal_merge.py", line 362, in ?
     nodata = int(argv[i])
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): -3.40282e+038

thanks!
